When facts corner them and arguments collapse, they don’t respond, they descend. What we are witnessing from the #DMK ecosystem is not debate, but a disgraceful display of abuse, filth, and shameless personal attacks. This is not accidental. This is culture. A culture that normalises disrespect, thrives on intimidation, and repeatedly targets women with the most demeaning language. Every word they use only exposes their true mindset—one that has zero regard for dignity or decency, especially women. Also naming and attacking senior journalists who we have never ever met, yet again proves how DMK continues to threaten and intimidate the fourth pillar of our democracy and curb freedom of expression. Thank you for proving me right, yet again, about #DMK. Walking away from that toxicity was not just a choice, it was a necessity. And let this be a reminder : degrees and titles mean nothing when basic values are absent. Education without character is hollow. @SundarCOffl and I will never sink to that level. We stand on the strength of our upbringing, the values instilled in us, and the dignity we refuse to compromise. I won’t waste another word. Let them keep speaking, the more they do, the more they prove who they are.

This is an historic election in Tamil Nadu. It's going down to the wire in many seats. The ground is too chaotic. Waiting for May 4.

@sandhyaravishan @ptrmadurai Ha haa. Sure Ma'am.., let’s meet maybe we can both finally find out when and where this ‘collaboration’ started. News to me. And yes, Madurai heat is real… but not as intense as the fiction in PTR’s campaign speeches 😋

Hi @VinodhArulappan we should definitely meet sometime since we're apparently "working together". Also stay hydrated @ptrmadurai sir. I heard it's scorching in Madurai.

Dear PTR, As a journalist, I have been on the ground for four days in Madurai Central constituency and I am reflecting on what the people of your constituency are saying. I am not here to endorse any candidate contesting in Madurai Central. If people are satisfied with your work, they will vote for you; if not, they will choose someone else. It is as simple as that. I have no agenda, nor any association or business alignment with the so-called individuals you referred to & I have never even met them. You are, in fact, one of the politicians I have interviewed the most since your entry into Tamil Nadu politics. If I am not mistaken, I was the first journalist to record a visual interview when you decided to contest from Madurai Central in 2016. I have written a lot about you in the past, acknowledging your work, not based on your claims, but on the voices of the people. Now that those voices are not in your favour, your response is to target and attempt to discredit journalists like me. The way you are speaking now is not just irresponsible, it is a direct attempt to intimidate and silence journalists who refuse to fall in line with your narrative. This crosses a clear line and cannot be ignored. As for my next pursuit, yes, it will remain journalism till my very last day. Instead of making baseless attacks, you would do better to focus on your campaign and address the concerns of your own constituency. I will continue to reflect the people’s voice and question the establishment & those in power, without fear or favour, as I always have. @ptrmadurai

For a guy who claims to be Harvard-educated & full of bombast about his 20-odd years in the US, it's quite lame to try & tell his constituents that he "tried" to fulfill his promises but couldn't. More ridiculous is that the finance genius apparently couldn't figure out that his own 2 aides had cheated people of over Rs 100 cr and that many officials in the Madurai Corporation looted people to the tune of at least Rs 200 cr. @ptrmadurai has found the perfect opponent in @SundarCOffl & is being asked questions he & his cousin have no answers for.

@sandhyaravishan It’s time @ptrmadurai realised he’s in bad company and among crooks. His party is a family enterprise, masquerading as a social justice party, while promoting casteist politics. He could get into national politics, if he’s really interested in making a worthwhile contribution

The level of anti incumbency I'm hearing about is pretty crazy. But a very very tough election to call. Too many moving parts. And 2 parties are yet to announce candidates!!!

I request @ECISVEEP to exempt our CM from vehicle checks since he has declared that he has only Rs 10,000 cash, as per his election affidavit. Also request Mrs Durga Stalin to be included in the Magalir Urimai scheme since her annual declared income is only Rs 5 lakhs per year. 🙏🏾
